I really get a great sense of the Corning Ewer from the sections you have written so far, I especially like the connection you find with the Roman traditions of glassmaking which you mention in the Manufacture section. This section leaves me wondering if we know the specifics of how Roman glassmaking knowledge came to the Islamic world in the 10th-11th century. You mention a resurfacing of this knowledge but is there a more concrete event or set of example objects which show this early influence. Moreover, if there are influences from both Roman "lands" and Iran, what are the greater significances of this fusion of technqiue and practice regarding glassmaking? The Romans managed to travel quite far, Palmyra in modern-day Syria is a famous ancient city that fell into Roman hands (I am not sure if this has any relevance to your topic, but Islamic exposure to Roman-derived knowledge made me think of this).

Though I do like your first section and the descriptions section. that information can be moved into an Artwork template where you can plug in that data about the object. And along these same lines about information on the object, what is the provenance of this object? Why is this ewer specifically named for the museum in which it resides? I am really curious about where it comes from and if there is a proposed or known original location. I also really appreciate the summoning of other related objects, this gives a good insight into the broader spectrum of these unique vessels.

Excellent work, and I look forward to the developments.
